September 2015

The students at Salem Jr love sports. We have school teams such as the Girls Tennis team and the Cross Country team. We also have the 9th grade Girls Volleyball team. We also have 7th, 8th, and 9th grade football teams. Later in the year we have the Boys and Girls 9th grade basketball teams, with the wrestling team and the Boys Tennis team.  But we don’t just support school sports. Lots of students like to watch college and professional sports. I wanted to see what sports the general student body like.

Vending machines provide snacks and drinks for students all around the school. Many people use them all year long. Our school, Salem Jr.High, has 3 vending machines open to students. Two of them are for snacks and treats and the other one is for drinks.

The Salem Jr High Cross-Country team is a huge running team that competes against other schools. They have a big team that consists of 7th-9th  graders. They are super fast and have a fun time at practice. For the boys' team, Ty Bailey has won every meet so far. 

We have a big variety of classes at this school. It ranges from Band to Agriculture. Some students’ favorite period is lunch. As you can see there can be a big difference between students’ choices. I wanted to get more points of view on this subject so I interviewed a couple students from each grade level to see what they say.      

Last week at Salem Junior High was spirit week. Spirit week is a week with a lot of fun events, such as events in olympic time, fun run, dress up days, and assembly’s. Salem Junior High students love this week. The Salem Student Council can plan the events and choose the dress up days for the week. Spirit week shows our support for the school.

Every year around the end of the school year, many districts in the state go to Lagoon as an enrichment for the Junior High and High School students. For those of you who don’t know what that is, Lagoon is an amusement park in Farmington Utah. Many people visit Lagoon every year, including our school, Salem Jr. High.
